I finally tried the Technics AZ60. Coming from Devialet Gemini and AKG N400nc, the sound did not wow me at first, pretty tepid right off. I could not get anything satisfactory with app's EQ, but choosing AZ70's profile in Wavelet cranked up the 2-3k range considerably and that opened them up enough that I like them a lot now.
I really wanted them for the ANC and great battery life, and in that they do not disappoint, perhaps the best ANC I've heard, and their deep insertion passive isolation puts them over the top.
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned enough is how good their call performance is, not in that they have amazing clarity for the callee, but their "Just My Voice" feature does a great job of filtering out noise. I have an uncle in his 80's who's hard of hearing and he's always my test case. He gave these a thumbs-up for clarity, but more impressive was that I could do all kinds of stuff while conversing, e.g. using a power drill, washing dishes, etc. He uses a Bluetooth hearing aid on calls and he's always complaining about noise.
